Where do YOU buy teas originating outside of Asia?

I would like to try teas from Kenya & Malawi, and other places we don’t hear much talk about. I’m not interested in rooibos or tisanes. Do you know of good retailers I should look into and teas to look for?

I think both Butiki teas and Upton carry black teas from Kenya, I know Butiki carries purple tea as well:

Thanks for the mention. :)

We currently carry 5 Kenyan teas (1 white, 2 purple and 2 black teas) and will be adding 3 new ones to our website which we do have in stock (hopefully within the week-1 green, 1 purple, 1 black tea) and we also carry a Rwandan green tea and Malawi white tea.

Here is a link to our “Explore Kenya” sampler: http://www.butikiteas.com/Samplers.html

Davids Tea carries “Kenyan Tinderet” which I presume comes from Kenya.

I’d love to know more about purple tea!

Butiki Teas said

Here is some info on purple tea: http://www.butikiteas.com/Purple.html. Would be happy to answer or find an answer for any questions you may have. In addition to the 2 listed we also have a Royal Tea of Kenya blend called Kamba Berry that uses the purple tea as a base and has some berries and hibiscus.
